'95 was better than '09 The Dead

...although '09 did get progressively better as the tour wore on, but still

Even, a limping, busted up Jerry is better that anyone else, but this is no offense to Warren etc., it's just there was only one Garcia . Now there are things they have dome in the post Jerry bands, that make you think, Damn, why couldn't they have done this with Garcai "! . Some of my reservations as pertaining to the 09 Dead", has to do with, not just the "No Jerry" factor, but the , usual 2 drummers problems , and a general lack of energy . My favorite comment about one of the shows was."Man , these guys need to drink 5 Red Bulls each, before the concert ". I don't mind slow ( big 76 fan), but they sounded thick, and sluggish, sometimes .
In contrast, Phil with Molo never sound that way . I think if you compare "Futhur" with the other post big guy groupings, they come out pretty good .
And "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king ".

I have heard as much and hope to experience it first-hand even though I said after G'boro '09 that I would never see another GD reunion group. I think Furthur will have a hard time topping '02 TOO though. That tour was magical...at least the Roanoke opener was.

I'm going to give that Roanoke show a listen since I never have before. Doesn't seem to have got a lot of attention on the Archive - no reviews, not many downloads - but that doesn't necessarily count for much.

By the way, while I'm here just how many gtrs have you actually clkted?

:-)

rob I hope you will find the magic in that Roanoke show I will admit there were several "outside" factors that contributed to the magic for me, but Jerry was in that coliseum with "the boys" that night. And having R.Hunter do a set between TOO's sets didn't hurt. well, "gtrs'(and other stringed instruments)I have 15 of varying ages, state of repair and collectiblity 6 acoustic(6 string, 12 string and Hawaiian) 3 electric(6 string only) 3 bass(4 string...is there any other "real" bass?) 2 ukulele(soprano) 1 banjo(5 string) jonesing hard for my first mandolin also assorted penny whistles native flutes kazoo keyboard and a "toy" drum machine(my grandson left it for me to play with)

Bill - I'm sorry I failed to respond to you - got tied up in off-forum aka 'real life' stuff, but just wanted you to know that I appreciated you taking the time to tell me about your collection. All I have myself is an acoustic twelve string and an electric six (used to have an acoustic six but it left this world in the course of a domestic realignment...) Hope you're giving all your instruments a regular workout!

no worries
life has a way of bringing us back to reality when we least expect it

unfortunately not much of "the collection" gets regular exercise

lately I've been concentrating on uke
